Assuming a one-dimensional collision, apply the conservation of energy theorem to the following system: In the system in the initial state, cart A is launched at the speed (vi ± delta vi) towards cart B, which is stationary. In the final state system, the two carts stick together and move together. The masses of the carts are known, as well as their uncertainty. Obtain a model for vf (the final speed of the carts) and its uncertainty based on known parameters only. Consider a collision between cart A, moving at speed (vi ± delta vi), and cart B, immobile. The masses of the carts are known, as well as their uncertainty. Friction is neglected. Using the conservation of energy theorem, program cells to predict the speed of sliders A and B after the collision as well as its uncertainty. Then test your model with the following values: mA=(0.47±0.05) kg mB=(0.47±0.06) kg vi A=(1.9±0.02) m/s
